“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes.”

when given a chance to write, i would have written absolutely the same text ....
life plays its strangest games with us... sometimes we are at the mercy of the situation, sometimes at the mercy of our thinking-childishness, maturity, madness, anger....
it takes a split of a second to make or break a name, a tradition, a trust, a relation....sometimes,what we do can have effects on our lives later... and not necessarily only on our lives... but also on others lives... or on lives of whom we love..
what happens when a right decision taken once looks wrong later? what happens when a good deed from you turns out to be a curse for the other? what if your helping hand drowns the other person in misery?what if your sacrifice holds no value for the person whom you made the sacrifice for?
a lot of ifs, buts,what, why .... questions never answered.... prayers that are not heard, deeds which are forgotten,smiles wiped away ....and so dream as you will live forever and live as if you will die today .... coz when one decides on how to satisfy ones own inner conscience, then all questions are answered, all prayers are heard, all deeds remembered and smiles to be spread always ...
In Short - It is Attitude and not Aptitude that determines Altitude.
